Anyones Child In A 4H Club Or Similar

My DD wants to goto a camp at 4H club. I figure all the feed has some type of gluten in it and maybe a bit of it floating in the air when you dig into the bag or containers.

I figured wearing gloves would work to cover her hands with explicit hand washing instructions but what about the air safety?

I wouldn't consider this but , she wants a rabbit and we are sending her because she will mostly be taking care of bunnies for the week and learning how to care for them, feed them, clip nails etc...

It's a SMALL barn with about 25 rabbits and a few outside calfs,goats, ducks and chickens. We have chickens so she knows she has to wash after feeding but she only throws 1 scoop of feed out for them, I honestly don't know how much she would be handling there it could be more like a qallon of food over different animal pens.

Anyways, are there any celiac kids in a 4H or have a farm with this type of experience ?

Please let me know

Thanks.

I had a rabbit but never fed him wheat. I don't think they are supposed to eat that. Check out what they feed them. Maybe it isn't so bad? I would be more worried about what they are feeding her (if its the sleepover type camp).

Maybe other folks' experience will help you some but there's just no way to tell about your specific camp without talking to the folks who run it. 4-H camps aren't all the same.

Personally, I would not be worried in the least about what's in the air.

Just looked up a brand of bunny food & it does have wheat in it. Its pellets so it won't be flying around in the air.

      Gluten free vitamins

      By trents · Posted

      The forms that vitamin and mineral supplements come in can be important. Bioavailability (i.e., how well they are absorbed) is often sacrificed for the sake of cost and shelf life. The vitamin or mineral you are targeting is always chemically combined with other elements to make them into a dispensable form (such as a powder, liquid or a pill) and to give them some chemical stability for shelf life.

      @llisa, back then when you tried magnesium and it upset your tummy, I'm guessing you were using the most common form of magnesium found on store shelves, namely, magnesium oxide. It has a reputation for having a laxative effect. It is not very well absorbed and so draws a lot of water into the colon, just like the laxative known as milk of magnesia. I'm guessing if you would switch to the "glycinate" form of magnesium you would not have this problem. Magnesium glycinate is absorbed much better. If you can't find magnesium glycinate at your local stores, you can order gluten free brands of it off of Amazon.

      I've tried magnesium before. Twice in 2 years. It really upset my stomach. And that was before this celiac disease diagnosis. (Finally, after 2 years of trying to find out what was wrong with me.) I have no idea how sensitive I am. When my stomach was upset, I'd go to my comfort foods: cream of wheat, cheese and crackers, scrambled eggs and toast...so, making myself worse by trying to feel better.  Just got results of biopsy yesterday, so today is first day of trying no gluten and reading that it can be hiding in vitamins and meds. So, I welcome ALL advice and personal experiences. No advice is too basic. I know nothing. Thank you!

      Have you considered also supplementing with magnesium and zinc? We usually recommend these two as well. D3, Calcium and Magnesium all important for bone and nerve health.
